1And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, when ye come into the land of Canaan, shall this be the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance: The land of Canaan according to its boundaries.

3And the southern side shall be unto you from the wilderness of Zin along by the boundary of Edom, and your southern border shall commence at the outmost edge of the Salt Sea on its east side.

4And the border shall turn for you from the south of the ascent of 'Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin; and its terminating points shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea', and shall go on to Chazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon;

5And the border shall turn from 'Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and its terminating points shall be at the sea.

6And as the western border, shall ye have the Great Sea for a border: this shall be your western border.

7And this shall be unto you the northern border: from the Great Sea shall ye mark out for you [the boundary to] mount Hor;

8From mount Hor shall ye mark out [the boundary] unto the entrance of Chamath; and the terminations of the border shall be toward Zedad;

9And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and its terminating points shall be at Chazar'-enan: this shall be unto you the northern border.

10And ye shall turn yourselves to the eastern border, from Chazar-'enan to Shepham;

11And the boundary shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, to the eastward of 'Ayin; and the boundary shall descend, and shall touch upon the coast of the sea of Kinnereth, eastward;

12And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its terminating points shall be at the Salt Sea: this shall be your land after its boundaries round about.

13And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall divide among yourselves by lot, which the Lord hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.

14For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their family divisions, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their family divisions, have received,—and the half of the tribe of Menasseh have received their inheritance;

15The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan opposite Jericho eastward, toward the rising of the sun.

16And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

17These are the names of the men who shall parcel out unto you the land: Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

18And one prince each from every tribe shall ye take to parcel out the land.

19And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Yephunneh:

20And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of 'Ammihud;

21Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Kisslon;

22And of the tribe of the children of Dan the prince, Bukki the son of Yogli;

23Of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Menasseh the prince, Channiel the son of Ephod;

24And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim the prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;

25And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun the prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;

26And of the tribe of the children of Issachar the prince, Paltiel the son of 'Azzan;

27And of the tribe of the children of Asher the prince, Achihud the son of Shelomi;

28And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali the prince, Pedahel the son of 'Ammihud.

29These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide out the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
